Since we embraced the opportunity to go a little less traditional with the food at our Friendsgiving Feast, a meatless main with major fall vibes felt like just the ticket since it made my vegetarian friends happy — and ensured that we didn’t overdose on turkey before Thanksgiving actually rolls around. This butternut-squash-pasta with spinach […]
Family recipes pack a certain transportive power — when you bite into that same cookie that grandma used to make, you’re suddenly a kid again standing in the middle of her kitchen. The aromas and tastes are directly tied to the memory centers of our brains, and one bite can unlock a lost world of familiarity. But […]

This sequence is designed to encourage + support healthy […]
It’s Thanksgiving week, y’all! Suddenly it feels like the holidays are in the air (and thank goodness – the temps plunged below 70 yesterday here in Austin and I finally got to bust out a sweater!) We hosted a dinner party + game night for friends on Friday, and the rest of the weekend […]
Happy weekend, friends! Hope y’all are all enjoying that extra hour of sleep this morning. Phoebe came downstairs and climbed under the covers with us at 6:15am, but when I remembered that I’d actually gotten a full night’s sleep thanks to Daylight Savings, I hopped out of bed and was glad to get an early start […]
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but today marks the one month countdown to Thanksgiving! And I’ve got to admit that I’ve suddenly been bit by the holiday party bug, planning menus for our family gatherings and a couple dinner parties I’ll be hosting this season. Can’t imagine more perfect timing for Darcy Miller’s insanely gorgeous […]
This post is sponsored by Mars SEEDS OF CHANGE® and Target It’s become a running Thanksgiving joke at our house. Each year when I start planning the menu for our family feast, everyone else votes to have the exact same menu items as last year, but I just can’t help myself from spicing things up with something a little different. […]
We’ve had an ever-so-slight decrease in temperature here in Austin, and all of a sudden my autumn nesting instincts are taking over in a big way. I went antiquing this weekend and felt strong urges to buy Tartan wool throws and glass goblets worthy of a Thanksgiving feast. I know we have a long way […]
It goes without saying that the holidays are a magical time. And as wonderful as I find the twinkling lights and snow-dusted sidewalks, the most magical part of the season is the tradition of giving, both to those you love and to those in need. There seems to be an innate desire to do something good for others at this time […]
Cue up the Santa Baby… at our house, today officially kicks off the Christmas season! We make it a tradition to decorate the tree and hang the stockings on the day after Thanksgiving every year. After all, we’ve only got 29 more days to be in the holiday spirit, and this season always flies by so quickly. Thought […]
The countdown to Thanksgiving dinner is on — I’m running around this morning picking up our turkey (Adam is frying it!), last-minute ingredients I forgot on my last trip to the grocery, and flowers for the table. Thought it would be fun to take a little break from the madness to talk about T-day beauty since it’s something […]
Today’s party concept is kind of a big deal — not just because we’ve put together an absolutely gorgeous guide for hosting a night in for your family and friends during the holidays, but also because today marks our first time talking about television on the blog. Given how much we gab about our favorite series around the […]
